When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294 A Steady Anchor in the Storm

The driver’s hands were clenched tightly on the steering wheel. From Jean’s angle in the back seat, all she could see was the dark back of his head–his face was completely hidden from view.

A tension suddenly snapped taut in Jean’s mind.

The driver said nothing, but his hands kept moving–gripping the wheel, he spun it sharply, and the car jerked, veering off course and turning right instead of continuing straight.

Mindy and Sofia, slow as they might have been, instantly realized something was wrong.

“Hey–you stop this car right now!” Sofia shouted, eyes wide as she lunged forward in her seat.

But there was a partition between the back and the driver’s seat. No matter how close she got, there was no way to actually reach him,

Mindy drew in a sharp breath. Her eyes lit up with anger as she slammed her palm against the back of the driver’s seat. “Where are you taking us? If you don’t stop this car right now, I’m calling the cops!”

Truthfully, she was scared too.

She didn’t really care what happened to her—if the worst came to worst, she’d just accept it.

But the two girls sitting next to her were so young.

No matter what happened, Mindy was determined to keep them safe.

The driver acted like he couldn’t hear a thing from the back.

The taxi turned into a narrow, silent path flanked by trees. There wasn’t a single person in sight. Dense woods blurred past the windows, whipping by faster and faster.

Sofia and Mindy grew more and more frantic.

They pulled out their phones to call the police–only to find their signals had been cut. No matter how many times they tried, they couldn’t get through.

They’d been completely disconnected from the outside world.

Jean, meanwhile, hadn’t moved.

She looked calm–unnaturally calm–as she silently observed their surroundings.

She knew that, at least for now, the driver didn’t intend to hurt them.

If he’d wanted to do something, he would have acted the moment they entered this secluded road.

But he hadn’t.

This wasn’t a man with a plan of his own–this was someone taking them somewhere.
